Any advice to talk to respected colleague in a parallel position about a potential promotion? I want to maintain a good repor and feel like it would be nice to talk with her before it happens.

Not sure I understand the question. You want to talk to someone at the same level about a promotion opp you don’t know if they’ll get, and just generally try to be positive and encourage them? That’s called being a nice person and I say go for it!

No, about a potential promotion I might get. (I wouldn't say anything until I knew it's definite.)

I would just be honest with her and say that you have been put forward for it but that you still don’t know what is going to happen. Explain what are your career objectives and how this promo would align with those. Explain what getting that promotion would mean for you AND for her in practical terms. Just be honest basically. And tell her that you will still be there for mentoring and support if she needs.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss. We have a weekly check-in but he’s ALWAYS 2-3 hours late, or skips the meeting altogether without warning. He also never replies to any of the emails I send. I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?

I learned that I unknowingly helped my coworker with a personal problem, and it made remember that even a short conversation can make all the difference.
